Tables are based on Florida data for 2004–2008.

Birth weight percentiles are computed from Florida 2004–2008 data after excluding births with BW < 1000 g and births with BW > 7257 g (16 lb).

Birth certificate (BC)-hospital discharge (HD); gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM); diabetes mellitus (DM).

BC-HD combinations of PDM-PDM, GDM-PDM, No DM-PDM are classified as ‘PDM’.

BC-HD combination No DM-No DM is classified as ‘No DM’.

All other BC-HD combinations are excluded from the tables.
